    Also running into some power issues. Getting really weird behavior where it will run at full force for a bit then drop down to ~60fps, but at really regular intervals. (nixos, 6.14 rc6 cachyos, mesa-git, linux-firmware 20250311) Some kind of throttling oscillation maybe? Saw this in Cyberpunk, MH Wilds, AC EVO, so mostly intensive games. (Was seeing something similar on windows with MH so idk.) Minecraft with shaders didn’t have this behavior.

    Dunno. Seems like the kind of thing that will get sorted out eventually.

    Edit: this turned out to be thermal throttling from how my PC was set up.











  • I’ve had some luck with vesktop’s streaming but it just doesn’t work for me half the time and I have to fully restart it to fix it. I’ll go through the flow and click to start streaming and nothing will happen. With the latest update for regular discord it will always stream but has had issues with switching windows/audio not always working.

    Guess we’ll get there eventually.







  • GN could pick any Linux distro and get metrics but they’ll want to be consistent and pick what will be most relevant.

    For most people SteamOS will be the pick when moving away from windows pretty much entirely because it’s “Valve’s” OS, who are a known entity compared to “whoever makes this Bazzite thing” (or whatever other distro). This will give them more confidence to switch as they are familiar with/trust Valve to some extent and know that they’re going to make sure their os works and can play games as well as can be expected on Linux. Obviously we know you can do it on other distros but switching your OS is a big change and people will want more assurance.

    GN could cover performance on other distros but I think that would probably just be noise to people who are on the fence/not that interested compared to “here’s how things work on Valve’s SteamOS”. (Also probably just provides a clear starting point and direction for GN)



  • Feel like there are a lot of people that literally just vote “hopefully something different will be better” with zero regard for what the candidates are apart from which of their parties has the current administration. This is of course really dumb, especially considering what Trump said he wants to do, but the base logic of “this isn’t working for me” is understandable at least. Dems running candidates that represent more of the same again…
